While the gun was thrown in the air because of Neil’s fall, Madam Elroy wanted to duck like everyone else, but her frail body wasn’t quite cooperating, so she landed on her bottom. As her loyal bodyguard helped her get away from the impending risk, she was unnerved seeing the gun descending dangerously close to her nephew. Much to her dismay, instead of dodging the gun, her nephew thrust the lady right beside him away in the very nick of time. While Madam Elroy expected the worst to take place, it seemed that the one who actually got struck was surprisingly Candice, not William.

Madam Elroy couldn’t help feeling slightly relieved, but William’s reaction afterwards could only be described as frantic with apprehension, which somewhat perturbed the old lady. His voice was high-pitched and nasal while the young girl grimaced. When Madam Elroy was about to approach them, her nephew scooped up the girl and bolted forward. Only then the people in the room began to perceive that Candy might have been wounded. George immediately chased after his young master, and Madam Elroy was the next person who followed them out, running as fast as her legs could carry her.

On the other hand, Albert had tremendous regrets for his action. Rather than pushing Candy away, he should have shielded her. At the same time, the ghastly scene of his nightmare earlier in the morning flashed across his mind again. In the dream, Candy breathed her last in his arms in her death bed. No, Candy, you can’t leave me now!

Dear CKati! Glad you had time to finish reading this lengthy chapter! Yes, what a twist eh? You know me, right? 😛 So far it seems the story has focused more on Albert’s undying love for Candy. That’s why I want to show that Candy also loved Albert very deeply.

I wasn’t so mean to leave my readers another cliffhanger this time, so the chapter is extra long. Hee hee… For a change I even gave a happy ending. 😉

About Terry… I’ll write about him for sure. Don’t worry. But no spoiler because I still haven’t made up my mind. 😛

I never thought of it as always being about the undying love of Albert for Candy. I always assumed the undying love going both ways. But now that you mentioned it, it was never narrated that way. I hope you can still follow me.

Yes in the story their love did go both ways, but it seems that Albert had been the one who was ‘doing’ concrete things for Candy (like his pursuit or standing up for her etc). I’m not sure if you understand what I mean, but this chapter shows that she loved him enough to take extra steps for him too. 🙂

Not sure about how long next chapter is going to be. Sometimes it depends on my writing mood too… But many thanks to you, my friend!! 💞

Thanks for the update! you really played with my emotion, girl! When i had thought that candy would be on the edge of death and life and albert would suffer seeing his loved one hurt badly and aunt elroy’s heart would melted to see candy’s dying ….YOU then made the whole different story for this chapter. But i love it! I can feel albert’s inner struggle from the thought that he could no longer make candy a woman. Oh albert!

You know, as much as i want to see the happy ending for them, i really don’t want this story coming to end soon. Please … don’t stop on their wedding. I know you can come up with many wonderful yet intriguing plot for their love story after the union. It’s mr & mrs ardlay we are talking about! 🙂

i understand you and although i very much want to say “no pressure!” to you …well … i can’t lie that i indeed put a little bit of pressure to you by saying i don’t want this story end. ^^ i hope you understand :). it’s very limited stories that tell about candy and albert in english. Not to mention the other writer i like a lot, Forever, are now in hiatus. So pardon my frustration.

I forgot to say this to you earlier. Thank you for giving us the perfect william albert ardlay. I sometimes couldn’t help myself but wondering those who forced to believe that candy ended up with terry ( oh give me some mercy as i’m touching sensitive subject), are they too blind to see the bond between the two blondes? i am nothing against terry, i loved him! but for me, if someone wants to continue the story based on manga, it’s more natural and sensible to make a full stop for candyxterry’s love story rather than to ignore albert’s and candy’s affection toward each other. It’s just too ridiculous to say no means hidden at those moments of albert’s amnesiac moment, rocks town trip, and lion attack. Oh God, sorry for blabbering here. 🙂 can’t help it.

once again, … thanks! i hope you’re considering to keep writing more and more and more. Good luck for whatever you’re doing and stay safe and healthy!

Yes I understand there aren’t many English fanfics for Candy Candy compared to Spanish ones. You know what, I actually got a request to write for Anthony!

Like most fanfic writers, I can only write in my spare time, and I believe many are busy with real life responsibilities. So some writers have stopped writing or have abandoned their stories, which is a pity. In fact, without all these positive or eager feedback, I probably wouldn’t have written that much! It’s very draining, but I must say I still enjoy the process of putting my imagination into words. At least when I get old I can look back and say that I have written a long story! 😛

About the love triangle and blindness of some fans, I’ll talk more in my new post(s). For now, thanks again for your support and thank you for your good wishes! 😀
